A seven-a-side football league established in 2022 by former footballer Gerard Piqué. The league's format deviates from traditional football regulations, incorporating features like a tie-breaker penalty shootout, unlimited substitutions, and the use of 'secret weapons' to enhance the dynamism and entertainment value of the games.
The inaugural Kings World Cup took place from May 26, 2024, to June 8, 2024. The league has expanded globally with regional competitions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Germany, Brazil, and France. The business model appears to be centered around media rights, sponsorships, and merchandise, targeting football enthusiasts seeking a fresh and engaging viewing experience.
